OF agriculture upon the condition of crops for
October gives the following synopsis of the
opinion of Nebraska and Iowa agents by
counties:
NEBRASKA.
Adams County-All crops poor in yield
and quality in this county, owing to dry
weather. Antelope-No killing frost. Corn
superior in quality. Buckwheat very fine.
Beone--Condition of wheat, rye and oats
have been seriously damaged by fall of
thirteen inches of water in six hours, fol
lowed by rains the next week, before the
stalks had time to dry. Burt-potatoes very
poor, owing to dry weather early in the
season. Wheat good and thrcshed in good
shape. Butler Wheat, so far as learned,
has measured from the machine from five to
seventeen bushels There is complaint of
smut from all quarters, The quality is not
good. Oats are unusually good. Average
crop Barley rye and buckwheat are hardly
raised in quantities to be entitled to place
in this report. The season has
been favorable to ripening corn and potatoes
nIe in fine condition in this section.
Cass-Late rains have revived corn enough
TO keep it green consequently gathering will
b6 later than last year by at least ten days.
Year. Colfax-We were somewhat affected
by drought but local rains made us pretty
crop. Corn is very fine. Cumings-Fine
fall weather. No frost yet. Crops are better
than was hoped for The rain did not come
soon enough for the early potatoes. Frank
lin-Whcat is of poor quality, and but little of
it will be made into -four. Most of it will be
ground and fed to stock. Rye is being sown
for fall and early spring feed Corn is
good while others are nothing. The quality
or oats is light; potatoes are good quality but
few in hills t'urnass-Wheat is very poor
pr account of chinch bugs and drought.
Hot winds during June and July almost
ruined it. Rye was some better The oat
crop was the best of any small grain. Being
sown rather late, the rains kept them after
the other small grains were too far gone.
Corn is very low. The chinch bugs are
still working at it. Late potatoes will be
better than early owing to plenty of rain
since the middle of August. Hayes-Wheat
WIS extra good. Many fields of oats yielded
fifty bushels per acre. Corn is fully up to
the highest mark, also potatoes. The season
has been most favorable one for all kinds
of crops. The chinch bug has worked some
I'm sod corn but has not materially injured it.
Three good seasons now in succession. We
feel hopeful for the Great American
Desert Custcr-'rhe wheat crop will prob
ably go little above the average quoted.
Oats were affected by dry weather the latter
part of June. Corn is in fine condition. We

visited "a few localities but owing to late
rains were prevented from doing any ma
leral damage. Dakota-The long continued
wet weather has injured grain stalks
pnd has delayed threshing. Dixon-C Grain
has been injured in stock to some
extent by wet fall. Douglass Some fields
